Korean-Japanese fusion done right. Bold, balanced flavors, great service, & a vibe that keeps you coming back. One of the best meals I've had in the city.

Some of the best service I've experienced in Montreal. The staff were all super friendly & warm. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was great, with a cosy vibe & music, & we could at least have a decent group conversation without too much noise from the other tables.

The food was next level. Let me tell you, just the right amount of spice kick & umami for the bulgogi dolsot (hot stone bowl). The crunchy rice at the bottom of the bowl was a chef's kiss 👨?❤??💋?👨. The tteokochi (rice cake appetizer) was a tad too sweet for me, but still had great crunch overall. Definitely a recommended place to visit; I'll come back 100%.
